In order to use Gogue, BearLibTerminal must be present and configured on your system. The choice to use BearLibTerminal (henceforth BLT) was made due to its wonderful set of functionality, and generally easy to use API.

  1. Download BLT for Linux here - Make sure to get the Linux distribution. Un-archive it somewhere.

  2. From your BLT download, copy the Linux64/libBearLibTerminal.so file to /usr/lib (Note: this is a brute force approach to installing this library. There is probably a better way to do it. Caveat Emptor). Once copied, run ldconfig -n -v /usr/local/lib. This will install the library on your system.

This should be all you need to do. The Go version of BearLibTerminal will be automatically downloaded and installed when you require Gogue in your project.
